Which lines in this excerpt from “Flight” by John Steinbeck contain personification? The farm buildings huddled like the clingin

g aphids on the mountain skirts, crouched low to the ground as though the wind might blow them into the sea. . . . Five-fingered ferns hung over the water and dropped spray from their fingertips. . . . The high mountain wind coasted sighing through the passand whistled on the edges of the big blocks of broken granite. . . . A scar of green grass cut across the flat. And behind the flat another mountain rose, desolate with dead rocks and starving little black bushes. . . . Gradually the sharp snaggled edge of the ridge stood out above them, rotten granite tortured and eaten by the winds of time. Pepe had dropped his reins on the horn, leaving direction to the horse. The brush grabbed at his legs in the dark until one knee of his jeans was ripped.

Identify the subordinating conjunction: where there is smoke, there is fire.
natka813 [3]
Although there are no conjunctions in this sentence, I guess that the adverb where can be used as a "subordinating conjunction" in the sentence, because it connects the subordinate and the independent clauses.
